Corrupt and racist American judges, PBS documentary

This May 2020 PBS documentary includes examples of racist atrocities against Asian Americans, and the corrupt and dishonest American judges who supported them.

SPOILERS:
The Chinese workers who built the railroad tracks were not allowed to be in the photograph, when the eastern and western lines were linked.

In 1882, Chinese immigrants were murdered in California by lynchings, costing the assailants $1.00 apiece.

Vincent Chin, the only child of a Chinese American couple, was beaten to death with a baseball bat, at his bachelor party before his wedding. Two Detroit Chrysler employees were given 3 years probation and a $3,000 fine for pleading guilty to the 1982 manslaughter. The rednecks assumed he was Japanese, (and thus contributing to the downfall of the American auto industry.)

The complicit judge was Wayne County Third Circuit Judge Charles Kaufman (1920–2004). Kaufman said, "These weren't the kind of men you send to jail... You don't make the punishment fit the crime; you make the punishment fit the criminal. The assailants, Ronald M. Ebens and his stepson, Michael Nitz, settled a civil suit, but still owed the estate lots of money.

After the Rodney King police beating acquittal, 2,000 Korean stores in Los Angeles were destroyed in the riots. The LA police and fire department did nothing to defend Koreatown.
